You are now a part of our Columbia community, and we have planned a series of events to help acquaint you with our vibrant campus. We believe that orienting you to the student experience and the many resources available at Columbia will enable you to contribute positively to your student’s success. The schedule for Family Orientation is designed to: • Answer questions about the transition to Columbia • Help you understand what to expect during the first year of college • Introduce many of the faculty, staff, alumni, and support services with whom you and your student will engage • Provide opportunities to network and meet other Columbia families • Connect you to the City of New York and its cultural and recreational opportunities • Instill pride and excitement for Columbia and our traditions During Family Orientation, you will have the chance to attend workshops to learn more about Columbia’s community of advisers, share coffee or a meal with families from all across the country and all over the world, and participate in Convocation—a special event marking the official start of the Columbia academic experience. I hope to meet each of you at Family Orientation and Family Weekend (October 24 – 26, 2014). If I can be of any assistance to you, please do not hesitate to contact me. My colleagues and I look forward to working with you and celebrating the accomplishments and successes of the Class of 2018.

Introduction When I was approached by the editors of Physics in Perspecti6e to prepare an article on New York City for The Physical Tourist section, I was happy to do so. I have been a New Yorker all my life, except for short-term stays elsewhere on sabbatical leaves and other visits. My professional life developed in New York, and I married and raised my family in New York and its environs. Accordingly, writing such an article seemed a natural thing to do. About halfway through its preparation, however, the attack on the World Trade Center took place.

  • Tesla's Connection to Columbia University by Dr. Kenneth L. Corum
    * Tesla’s Connection to Columbia University by Kenneth L. Corum and James F. Corum, Ph.D. “The invention of the wheel was perhaps rather obvious; but the invention of an invisible wheel, made of nothing but a magnetic field, was far from obvious, and that is what we owe to Nikola Tesla.” Professor Reginald Kapp, 1956 INTRODUCTION The Electrical Engineering curriculum at Columbia University, though not the first in the US, is one of the oldest and most respected EE programs in the world. From the beginning, a conscientious effort was made to base it on a foundation of science. It has been guided by the specific philosophy stated by Professor Michael Pupin: “Professor Crocker and I maintained that there is an ‘electrical science’ which is the real soul of electrical engineering.” Arguably the most stunning and significant lecture in modern history was presented one spring evening, more than a century ago, at Columbia University. The wealth of nations turned on its merits. Weighing on the balances would be our vast cities, civilization, and quality of life. But, what was it? . .Whatever it was, its impact has been as momentous for the progress and prosperity of civilization as the invention of the wheel! . It was Tesla’s great discovery and analysis of the rotating magnetic field, and a means for the electrical distribution of energy.1 As a result of the analysis presented in this lecture, the great Falls of Niagara would soon be harnessed for the benefit of mankind and launch civilization into the “Electromagnetic Century”. The Engineering Council for Professional Development (now called ABET) has defined “Engineering” as “that profession which utilizes the resources of the planet for the benefit of mankind”.
